    Why would God ask the Israelites to make a verbal commitment to Him? Hadn’t they already shown their intention by following Moses out of slavery and to the foot of this mountain? Consider the power of "vows" and how God uses them in every aspect of our li

    OPEN: One of our country’s most beloved Presidents was Abraham Lincoln. He had the great misfortune of being at the helm of our nation during one of it’s most troubled times.

    God’s abiding intent is that His glory should fill the whole earth as it has filled His house (2:14) & that man should know His glory fully. For this to occur the false knowledge the Babylonian character & aspirations epitomize must be removed.

    Habakkuk 2:14-15-20 SIN’S SENTENCE CONTINUED We have discovered in verse 14 that God’s abiding intent, His overarching aim, is that His glory should fill the whole earth as it has filled His house, (Num. 14:21; Ps. 57:5,11; 72:19; Ex. 40:34-35; 1 Kings 8:11) and that man should know His glory ...read more

    “Life is not a journey to the grave with intentions of arriving safely in a pretty well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming ... WOW! What a ride!” Just the word “Journey” sounds

    The Journey Genesis 12:1-3 Now the LORD had said to Abram: “Get out of your country, From your family And from your father’s house, To a land that I will show you. 2 I will make you a great nation; I will bless you And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing. 3 I will ...read more

     | 3,684 views

    Our journey towards a deeper and closer relationship with God is not something that just happens. We don’t just passively float through life and hope that we end up somewhere wonderful or nice. We have to be intentional and we have to be engaged in the process.

    How many of you have just woke up one day, got in your car, went to the airport and randomly bought a ticket to a place you never heard of? Or just got in your car and drove to a random city?

     | 2,499 views

    Jesus’ teaching and ministry was a way of reframing the use of Scripture. The Scribes had made notes that were superimposed on Scripture. Jesus holds before us a new way of living life. One based on mercy, grace, and love. Jesus modeled the heart and intent of God.

    As a child we would attempt to salvage anything and everything. The house I remember from early childhood was an interesting building.

    To overcome a porn addiction and lust, Jesus says: Don’t look with the deliberate intention of fantasizing sex. And if you can’t keep from looking, take drastic action to avoid the trap of lust. But above all, depend on Christ to purify your heart.

    On a December Sunday afternoon in northeastern Pennsylvania several years ago (2005), Pedro Sainvil sent two of his two children, ages 8 and 9, outside to play in the snow.

    People who are going through difficult times are often told by others not to worry because, “God won’t give you more than you can handle.” The words are said with the best of intentions but unfortunately no such promise exists in the Bible.

     | 4,970 views

    At Creation all nature conformed to God’s purpose and fulfilled His intention, and so He declared all He had made “very good”. One day God will declare the world “good” again. And all creation will praise God’s goodness.

    Thanksgiving; the day we set aside to give thanks for all we have. Although I'm glad we have a national holiday dedicated to being thankful, God's intention is that we would be in a continual mindset of giving thanks. We need to be living thankfully.

     | 5,396 views

    God should be recognized in even the simplest affairs of life―didn’t Paul instruct believers to, “Pray about everything”? It was never God’s intention for man to direct his own steps; and only those journeys where God is the pilot are truly prosperous.

    Sadducees Sadly Mistaken (2004)

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,638 views

    The intention of the question of our "case in point" (Luke 20:27-40) was designed by those who composed it to make a fool of Jesus. It backfired. The scripture tells us that when Jesus answered that question, no one dared to ask Him any other questions.

    SADDUCEES SADLY MISTAKEN Text: Luke 20:27-40 Bruce Larson made the comment that the question that the Sadducees posed to Jesus was a test that was designed to determine whether or not He was a conservative or a liberal.

    The animals and the fish were created to demonstrate God’s glory, and they were each given a command to multiply and reproduce according to their own kind. We must see that God's design for Creation is intentional, and done to show His majesty even in the smallest things!
